I wish I had made the trip but I just traded to acquire it. It was cheaper that way. High West is on my bucket list. I want to go visit but Kentucky is much closer. The wife wants to go out west sometime so I will get there eventually.

Yeah, I ran across it today. I am trying to limit my purchases to one standard selection and one special offering per month during the spring. It would be great to hear your opinion on this offering. Is there a variability between offerings? For example, say I buy one at Crown would it be essentially the same as one bought at another retailer?

I honestly don't know. I had some of the very first batch TomH shared with us at Vine & Table and have not had it since. To be quite honest this bottle will probably not be opened until much closer to Christmas because the nose and taste just make me think of warm pumpkin pie and nutmeg and other Christmas stuff. As far as variability, beats me. I know there are batch numbers on the bottle so if you like one you can search for another of the same batch.
